I want to make the right choices and many websies say that you cannot grow brussel sprouts in the same spot 2 years in a row. Is there anyway I can grow brussel sprouts 2 years in a row.

Dear ???,

Thanks for your letter. I’m not sure why you want to grow brussel sprouts in the same spot. Keep in mind the big advantage to Square Foot Gardening is that you keep planting a square at a time as it becomes available. The best idea is not to plant the same thing twice in the same square. This gives you the unique advantage of crop rotation, which will give you a better plant, more harvest and you won’t have to worry as much about pests and disease problems that happen in other types of gardening, especially the single row method.

Have you read the ALL NEW SFG book? I hope this will help you visualize and understand just one of the many advantages of the SFG system. Thanks again for writing and I hope this helps you lay out your planting pattern.
